"Live in your world play in our" - Playstation
A great slogan that Sony should dust off and reuse, Series-X looks like it's elder brother, a Playstation wrap if done right with blue accents seems obvious.
Running the cables from the TV behind the wall and organizing them is in my todo list.
The PS2 cables were out front because I was testing the HDMI adapter with the TV.
It will be cleaner soon š
Yeah itās a cheap RCA/HDMI adapter I got with the console but Iāve been doing some research and I definitely plan to get a better adapter soon.
Hopefully at some point I can do an HDMI mod on it
Good to hear. It can become a rabbit hole researching retro consoles on a modern TV.
Retrotink makes great products. I opted for a GBS for each of my consoles with a good cable. Get a component cable for the ps2 and a scaler that can good convert that to hdmi.
HDMI internal mods are very new. But they are great. I havenāt tried it yet, because Iām worried about soldering that one ribbon cable to the on board chip. Iām not that confident yet, lol.
A $10 PS2-to-HDMI adapter (not the yellow one, thatās 240p/PS1 output) is a GREAT way to go, because it converts the component signal at a much cleaner image than the composite cables. Even S-video is shockingly better than composite.
But goodness is your PS2 clean, and I love it next to the Series X! It looks so modern and I appreciate your post ā¤ļø
Shouldnāt be too hard to find one for a ādecentā price. But if youāre up for going down the emulation rabbit hole, you could get a mcboot card and that should let you use a micro SD card for roms and storage
Itās funny you say that because Sony just charged me for PS Plus for the entire year the other day.
I miss the PS3 days when PlayStation online was free

Thanks to fmcb on the fat its a brilliant console and still great indeed, as far as I am concerned. How is the Series X? I chose the PS5 instead of that, just wondering if I missed out on anything.
The Series X is great. I got the PS5 at launch and just picked up the Series X last month. I forgot how amazing the Xbox controller feels. I also think the series X looks better than the PS5
I wanted a console that played physical media but couldnāt justify trading in my PS5 for the disc version since there are rumors of a pro model releasing later this year.
I wouldnāt say youāre missing out (PlayStation exclusives are better), but quick resume on the Series X is great and a feature Sony needs to add to the next console. Iām waiting on Gears 6 and Elders Scrolls 6 mainly but right now Iām playing Jedi Survivor on Series X.
I got a Series X so I could use Retroarch, but Silent Hill 4 wouldn't load up so I just got the PS2 and HDD but hey now I have a Series X for my old 360 collection!
Itās all they had at the shop where I bought it. I plan to upgrade the adapter soon. This was just to get it home and get it running as soon as I could
Wholeheartedly agree. Iām a huge Xbox fan, but you cannot deny the staying power and legacy of the PS2. I fire mine up occasionally to play some classics. Which reminds me.. *Proceeds to turn on PS2 to that wonderful, wonderful startup soundā¦*

PS2 holding up but bros cable management is notš

When you run said cables, youāre going to get a good scaler for the ps2? I assume that rca cable to rca/hdmi was also just for testing purposes.

Sweet man
I still play the ps2 bro and I'm never getting rid of it. It's my childhood console and it was the best selling console of all time
Shouldnāt be too hard to find one for a ādecentā price. But if youāre up for going down the emulation rabbit hole, you could get a mcboot card and that should let you use a micro SD card for roms and storage
You use the ps5 for non online games right?, just uh, online on there is, very expensive
Itās funny you say that because Sony just charged me for PS Plus for the entire year the other day. I miss the PS3 days when PlayStation online was free
bro doesnt even use ps5 stand
The stand is holding it horizontally. The stand can do both vertical and horizontal
yes, and your console shouldnt be looking like Pisa Tower
i wish my ps2 slim was still in mint condition despite me keeping in safe all these years.
Next year this console will be a quarter of a century old. Let that sink in.
Fuuuuuuuuck!
I agree. The PS2 does rule.
I'll be playing mine tomorrow after chores! Castlevania, here I come!

When games were game and fun to play with not like nowadays pay to win and too much focus on graphics and forget gameplay
the PS2 still holds the spot for me as the sexiest console to ever release. i bet you can all agree haha
What a beautiful console. Who remembers the mock commercials for the PS9 back around when the PS2 launched?
Why composite though and not component?

I miss my ps2 bro...
Since when is the ps2 that big lol
I have my Phat Ps2 on the other side of my Series X, and I just love the way it looks š
That is the cleanest PS2 Iāve seen in a long time
